BALSAMIC PORK CHOPS



Balsamic Pork Chops image

Super simple, yet serious flavour!! The Balsamic sauce is tangy and sweet, and this will go fantastically with any protein - chicken, beef, pork and even lamb! The flavour of this syrup is quite intense so you do not need much for each serving - just spoon a couple of tablespoons over each pork. While the total cook time may seem long, it is mostly hands off time because the balsamic syrup doesn't need to be watched over as it reduces.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pork chops (, 2.5cm / 1" thick, about 200-250g/7-8oz each (excluding any bone) (Note 1))
1 - 2 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove (, minced)
1 onion (, finely sliced (~1 cup of onion, brown, yellow or white))
1 cup balsamic vinegar
1/3 cup / 60g brown sugar ((Note 2))
Salt and pepper
Crumbled goats cheese or feta
Fresh parsley or thyme

Steps:

  • Sprinkle both sides of pork with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Cook the first side for 4 minutes until it has a lovely dark gold crust, then turn and cook the other side for 3 minutes. (Note 3)
  • Transfer to a plate, cover loosely with foil.
  • Add 1 tbsp oil to the skillet, still on medium high. Add garlic and onion, cook until translucent - around 3 minutes.
  • Add balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is melted. When it comes to a simmer, adjust the heat so it is bubbling gently, not rapidly.
  • Simmer for ~5 to 8 minutes or until it reduces by almost half and is a THIN syrup. Then add the pork back into the skillet, including all the juices on the plate. Simmer, turning pork to reheat, for 2 minutes or until the the sauce becomes syrupy (to your taste) and pork is reheated. (Note 4)
  • Serve, garnished with crumbled goats cheese if desired.

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (5 ounce) bone-in pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chicken broth
¼ cup good quality balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Pat pork chops dry with paper towels, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and stir to combine.
  • When butter and oil shimmer, carefully add chops and cook over medium heat until browned on one side, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn and cook pork chops until no longer pink in the center and browned on the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. Do not overcook the chops or they will turn dry and hard. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Remove pork chops from heat and cover to keep warm.
  • Combine chicken broth, balsamic vinegar, and honey in a small saucepan. Bring glaze to a boil over medium-high heat and boil until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Drizzle pan-fried chops with balsamic glaze and serve warm.
